Another parent-in-law problem

I have two very demanding PIL. My husband is not a mommy's boy, but his parents always demand him on all sorts of things. The problem is that he feels he cannot say "NO" to his parents unless it is really very ridiculous thing. But this has put a lot stress on us, both financially and emotionally. We don't have good relationship either, and I know that will certainly not help on this. I have talked to him about this millions of times and always ended up fighting. He thinks it is his obligation to look after his parents. He also admits his parents are over-demanding, but he said there was nothing he could do and he could not say no to his parents. What shall I do? I am very depressed about this. Do I have to accept the facts and let life go on?

How old is he/ how old are they/ does he have any siblings who could share the burden? Do you have any kids? What sort of stuff do they ask of him? Do they not work? (You mentioned financial strain)? Sorry, no suggestions yet, just loads of q's.
